We will try and help you in any way we can.

We have a few "courtesy" Board Rules:

We hope your stays here are short and sweet and you all move onto the due in boards soon. Due to the large amount of traffic on AT board we do ask ladies with their bfps to leave the group at 12 weeks when they have had the good news that all is well with their pregnancy!

Please do not discuss or advertise psychic readings on the board. To protect your privacy there are private groups in which you can do so safely.

Spamming the board is when multiple posts are posted continuously, regarding the same subject numerous a times a day. IF this happens, that post will be closed to new comments and if relevant, sign posted to another post or group that this topic already covers.

We do ask that all none ttc topics are posted on the daily chat thread posted by admins, this helps to keep the very busy board moving and ladies with ttc questions are answered, any posts none ttc related will be deleted/closed to comments with out warning.

While we do encourage freedom of speech on here, any arguments, bad language or offensive material, personal attacks or transferring issues from another board or member
will be flagged to Admin who will take the appropriate action.Whether this is deleting the message, closing posts or reporting it to the community managers. This ensures a pleasant environment for us all.

While we are all very pleased for you when you get your BFP, if you plan to post any scan pictures please make sure you include *scan pic* in your title so any ladies that do not wish to see them won't accidentally do so.

Due to the large quantity of posts on the board at any one time we also ask that you don't start cycle buddy threads as they can push peoples questions down the pages so they may not get answered. We have set up official cycle buddy threads for you to join, just find the one for your testing week. There is a link to all the current threads in the BFP train.

The AT board is where you can share your stories, photos and thoughts, while connecting with others. Our community is a place of personal expression, where we value an honest and supportive exchange of ideas and experiences. In order to keep this a place where differences in philosophies, beliefs, opinions and parenting styles are welcomed, please help us by following these simple rules.

Our User rights and responsibilities apply to all of your participation on our website.

Along with the above ladies please bear in the mind that "flouncing" where you say you are leaving the board but don't or you post a comment which disrupts the board and takes away the needs of ladies in real need of support and advice this too is against AT /BC guidelines and rules and will be reported to the CMs for moderation. This group is growing by the day and to keep this board running smoothly without disruption we as admins kindly ask that all members long standing and new adhere to the rules.

It was brought to our attention by Lynda that in January alone AT was viewed by over 1.2 million on the internet with this is mind please remember that "swearing" is again BC guidelines and it doesn't bode well for the website either!
